* Bernhard M. Wiedemann wrote a blog post about his [import of openSUSE Tumbleweed into IPFS](https://lizards.opensuse.org/2019/04/03/experimental-opensuse-mirror-via-ipfs/) to aid verification of older binaries.
* [Chris Lamb](https://chris-lamb.co.uk/) filed a wishlist bug against the Debian [`jenkins.debian.org`](http://bugs.debian.org/jenkins.debian.org) "[pseudo-package](https://www.debian.org/Bugs/pseudo-packages)" to request that we test and ensure the reproducibility status of [Debian Installer](https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/) images.

* [Holger Levsen](http://layer-acht.org/thinking/) requested permission for [Diffoscope](https://diffoscope.org/) version 113 to enter the upcoming Debian *buster* release via bug [#926065](https://bugs.debian.org/926065). This was subsequently processed by Jonathan Wiltshire.
* [diffoscope](https://diffoscope.org/) is our in-depth "diff-on-steroids" utility which helps us diagnose reproducibility issues in packages. This week Chris Lamb changed the behaviour such that specifying "`-`" (a hyphen) is explicitly required on the command-line to read a single diff from standard input to avoid somewhat non-intuitive behaviour when *diffoscope* is called without any arguments. [[#54](https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/issues/54)]
